-- INSERT --

I have typed this, but I cant find a way to save this and exit, so that I could work on terminal. What command am I to use here?

Press esc, then colon (:) and then enter on keyboard wq to save and exit.

If you wish to just quit, without saving, write q without w

Escape should work, but I found myself in a weird scenario recently where at times my esc key was not working for exiting insert mode. I couldn't isolate the issue, but I did stumble across the fact thatif you use option + left arrow or right arrow (like you would in order to skip through or highlight expressions in a code editor), it leaves insert mode as well.

At least on my MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021) with an M1 on which I did not tinker with keybindings at all.
